Its walls and ceiling are completely covered in salt that was brought from the Siwa Oasis which is famous for having the finest types of salt in the world, and as for the floors they’re made from salt cubes that were brought from the Dead Sea.

All you need to do is go in and lie on a chaise longue under the calming lights, listen to soft music, bury your feet in salt and enjoy being surrounded by the purity of the color white and the freshness of clean air.

The cave has a light and sound system that was set specifically by psychologists to fit the type of treatment that is being received; and it differs from a type to another as each of the colors of light in the ceiling has something to do with a specific body organ (for example: green light is comforting for the eyes and calms the nerves/ Blue light calms the brain and keeps you focused) and according to the type of treatment you are receiving convenient music and lights are set, and by the way you leave your mobile, negative thoughts and problems at the door before you get in the cave and start a journey of relaxation and quietness.

In some cases of sickness, a full periodical system for visiting the cave is organized to treat diseases such as Rheumatism - Body moisture – Negative energy –mental and nervous pressure – and chest allergy by organizing meditation sessions (but this does not replace the need for the medical treatment that your doctor has prescribed beside these sessions in the cave). Also there is a periodical follow up checking with specialized doctors and therapists. The cave has many visitors from all around the world because this type of treatment is famous globally because of salt’s ability to eliminate negative energy.

Cost of the therapeutic and relaxation visit is LE 150 ($9) per person for 40 minutes and it is really convenient for children from all ages as there are games for kids in the salt inside, which means the place is appropriate for the whole family from all ages. (There is a discount for groups if you arrange with the administration).
The Cave is in Taba (inside the Taba Heights resort) and you can contact the administration through the resort’s official website on Google.
